Welcome to this bonus summer edition of HA News, which features the first letter from new HA president James Daybell.

We are also delighted to announce this year's Medlicott Medal winner.

As we look forward to next year's conference in Stratford-upon-Avon, we’re excited to announce that our Saturday morning keynote speaker will be the award-winning historian of the medieval and Tudor period, Helen Castor. 

Nicholas Morton shares ‘what got me into history’ and comedian Elis James tells us what studying history taught him.

We’re also excited to share more about our upcoming short course The World of the Normans, starting on 29 September. And we continue to celebrate the National Year of Reading with our Big summer read. 

We hope you enjoy this edition. If you have any feedback or any ideas for future HA activities or articles you would like to contribute to HA News, we'd love to hear from you on enquiries@history.org.uk.
